Human rights must be accorded more value than power and sovereignty. The democratic nations of the world are one with the people of Taiwan; and any place where freedom reigns shall be a home for the people of Taiwan. Hong Kong must strive to enjoy the fresh breath of democracy and lead China toward democracy, with the key being Taiwan. Mankind has known the wisdom of the rule of law for more than two thousand years, and laws must conform to the ideals of "nature, justice and morality" as well as "freedom, democracy and human rights". See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Global chaos arises from the growth of populism into nationalism, yielding empires based on power and surging trade protectionism. This shows that human democracy has deteriorated and is not as good as Athenian democracy was 2000 years ago. Humanity must adopt the principles of humanism, constitutionalism, internationalism and natural law, and strive to achieve One World under One Set of Laws in order to achieve world peace. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Afghanistan must carry out constitutional reform to introduce democratic mechanisms to protect human dignity and establish a the broad foundation for freedom, peace and justice. This is the only way to prevent the loss of human resources and money. Everyone should be able to live and work in peace from generation to generation in an environment of long-lasting security. The dignity and value of the people must be decided in front of the ballot box. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

Drugs are the source of all evil, and human rights are foremost among universal values. The Philippines are in serious need of a constitution which recognizes international law, and government agencies and officials should strive to serve humankind and the people of the nation. The spirit of nation building must be nurtured in carrying out the ideal of a harmonious world in which "all things do not harm each other, and all laws work together and not against each other." The state represents the highest level of moral justice, and the government is the largest charity. The people must be allowed to live their lives “free from scarcity and fear, with each person able to live and work as they please." See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development

If Russia is sincere about peace in Syria, it should help establish democratic institutions there as quickly as possible. Eradicating terrorism requires cooperation from all nations through legal mechanisms. Countries shall participate in global legislation to set up an anti-terrorism alliance. All nations, whether friends or foes, shall send 1 or 2 persons to participate on a long-term basis as representatives to the Parliament in developing a common anti-terrorism program. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Corruption is deeply rooted in bureaucratic culture, and the only cure for it is democracy. Separation of powers and decentralization are essential, and the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorial branches elected in alternating years. Obviously Israel’s constitutional mechanism has failed, and it is essential that rule of law be implemented through constitutional reform to achieve a government that is not wasteful and offers elections that are free for all candidates. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Syria is at the center of much of the unrest in the Middle East, and considerable changes in the nation’s government must be considered in order to help bring about peace in the area. Setting up a semi-presidential system with a Parliament modeled after Switzerland’s is the first step toward democratization and the rule of law. This must be followed by adoption of a legal system in which international law takes precedent over domestic law. For details, see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Voters in Hong Kong are forced to cast ballots for candidates for Chief Executive who have been previously vetted by the Election Commission of the Chinese Communist Party. This election is a result of dictatorial politics and does not change the fact that Hong Kong is being subjected to a dictatorship. The people of Hong Kong should make good use of Article 39 of the Hong Kong Basic Law and the two international human rights covenants. People have the right to self-determination through referendums. They must be allowed to decide on having the heads of the legislative, executive, judicial and procuratorate branches popularly elected to ensure they will be responsible to the people. For details please see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

Presidential elections in the US are increasingly little more than a contest between two candidates to see who can put together the biggest campaign and spend the most money for media expenses and other costs. Real issues and values are often overlooked in a race which features two less-than-stellar figures backed by supporters with deep pockets. In the meantime, potential candidates from all political ideologies are daunted by the prospect of paying for media time and space and dare not step forward. This problem can be easily overcome by granting all candidates in elections free access to the media to express their ideas. For more, please see the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.

The planet we live on must be accorded the benefits gained in universal human wisdom to solve problems which face all humankind. Global free trade and a commitment to bilateral alliances will help bring about peace and prosperity, and enforcement of the principle of One World under One Set of Laws is one keys for realizing this goal. Whether or not a nation is a member of the UN, it should strive to abide by the norms of the international community, acting to give International law precedence over domestic laws and directly affect people’s rights and obligations. See the Charter for Permanent Peace and Development.
